Notes:
  1. At times some crew members handled multiple position, sometimes on a single missions or on different missions.
  2. Although the same crews largely flew together, occasionally there might be a substitute if someone was sick or injured, or there might be a replacement part way through a tour for a variety of reasons. Generally the co-pilot was bumped on the first mission for an experienced crew member; however, this probably was not so for the first crews.
